Aaawwwww....
MilAn:
It's great they found each other. I think they love each other very much and i predict marriage in the near future and maybe a "Gyllenspoon" baby... This relationship could last.
Artiste:
We love you Jake G. !
BelAir:
I finally saw Rendition... I seem to remember it getting less than stellar reviews. Not quite sure why. I thought it was pretty good, compelling, etc...
I noticed sometimes that Douglas seemed to walk like older Jack... do you guys know if this is a coincidence, or if Jake has some sort of long standing injury/limp?
Thanks.

I thought it was an earnest and decent film and well-intentioned film, - trying to convey the logic as well as a relatively humane message. But.... for me, personally, it was too simplistic and black/white throughout to actually mirror and serve as a good commentary to current events, and the ending was entirely and totally unrealistic and ruined much of what had gone before. (Anyone having a humanistic epiphany like that, and managing to act on it? Spanish Immigration and US Homeland Security can be fooled by one fake passport that easily? Even when sported by a haggard arabic-looking guy in ill-fitting clothes and without luggage? The papers actually took up this issue and gave it the full scrutiny it deserved? Our guy actually arrived home to wife and kid to tell the tale of what he'd gone through and was allowed to do so? .....Dream on.)
The acting was far from stellar from all except Omar Metwally (sp?) A lot was indifferent, some practically phoned it in, notably Peter Sarsgaard, and some over-emoted waaay over the top, all chances of character nuances lost as a consequence - this particularly applied to Reese W.
And the weird time twist of the parallell plot line was unnecessarily confusing.
All this just IMO of course.

He hasn't got a limp or injury, AFAIK. I suppose it was neither coincidence nor a deliberate old Jack-similarity - probably just Jake's particular way of acting guys older than himself with a heavy load of worry weighing them down.
